ADMISSIONS CONSULTING

Get into a top B-school — with someone who has done it.

Founder-led, genuinely 1:1 guidance from profile mapping and school selection through essays, recommendations, resume and mock interviews. You work directly with the principal consultant — an INSEAD alum who won scholarship admits at top US and Asia schools and negotiated his INSEAD scholarship himself. Not theory: someone who has been there, with management roles across Asia, Europe and North America.

Why work with us

An unfair advantage, made personal.

Truly 1:1, founder-led

Every conversation is with the principal consultant — no junior associates, no outsourcing, no templates.

Been there, done it

Guidance from someone who won scholarship admits at top US and Asia schools — and negotiated his INSEAD scholarship himself.

A global operator's eye

Management roles across Asia, Europe and North America — he knows what schools and recruiters actually reward.

Focused, not bloated

A few high-impact touchpoints keep the engagement sharp — and the pricing lean.

How we work

From first conversation to admit.

A structured, seven-step engagement across three phases — the applicant does the thinking; we make it land.

PHASE 1
Foundation
Story, profile & school fit
PHASE 2
Application
Essays, LORs, resume & forms
PHASE 3
Interview
Mocks & final prep
1. Discover your leadership profileFoundation

Deep 1:1 conversations to unearth the story, motivations and defining moments that make you distinctive — the raw material every strong application is built on.

2. School research & perspectiveFoundation

We map your genuine fit school by school and push you to talk to alumni, students and recruiters — so your “why this school” is specific, credible and yours.

3. Essays & reviewsApplication

You draft; we sharpen. Iterative rounds on structure, story and voice until each essay is a compelling, submit-ready narrative — never a template.

4. References & recommendationsApplication

We help you brief and align your recommenders so their letters echo your real impact with concrete, memorable detail.

5. A standout MBA resumeApplication

One page, admissions-grade — rebuilt against what committees reward, through the same iterative polish as your essays (10–20 focused hours).

6. Application form reviewApplication

Every data field, short answer and disclosure reviewed for accuracy and angle, so the whole application reads as one coherent story.

7. Interview & mocksInterview

Complimentary once you’re shortlisted: realistic mock interviews and feedback from someone who has sat on the admissions panel — you walk in calm and sharp.
